Ah, yes, creating the problems for yourself and then heroically prevailing over them, how very commendable. Many people seem to expect that they will be somehow rewarded, one way or another, for their self-sacrifice, but of course they don't: "sacrifice" is just something you throw away; if you were supposed to get something in return, it'd have been called "price".
Such an arrogant comment. Not only did you completely miss the point of the GP's post, but you're showcasing a bunch of disdain for people simply making mistakes and fixing them.
I have no words. None that abide by the guidelines, at least.
It's not an arrogant comment, it's common sense. It's much better not to do dumb things than to do dumb things and then try to fix it. Yes, it's good to fix one's mistakes, but that doesn't mean we should be celebrating those mistakes.
It reminds me of George W. Bush bragging about the success of the "surge" many years into the Iraq war, and I remember thinking, "What a man-child, this guy wants a prize for making a disastrous decision that a bunch of people specifically warned him not to make, and then taking steps to make it slightly less of a hot mess".
But nobody was celebrating the mistake. The comment was literally commending someone's resolution of that mistake.
The assertion you're making/supporting is incredibly arrogant because it implies that living a life without mistakes is possible. As cliche as it sounds, nobody is perfect. It is not possible to live life without error.
In other words "Just don't make mistakes" is not advice: it is ego-tripping.
